Sound like something you might want to try? In this episode we’re taking a deep dive into the subconscious with hypnotherapist and neurolinguistic master practitioner, Juliet C. Obodo. After working in the corporate world, Juliet took a major...

Are you ready to meet your inner child? More importantly… Do you know who they are and why they matter? Inside all of us there’s an inner child that was once wounded. And that inner child can have some pretty big effects on who we are and how we function. Inner child work, also referred to as inner child healing, is a way to address our needs that haven't been met as children and heal the attachment wounds we formed. When you do inner child work, you become open to — and aware of — an entirely new world of possibilities for yourself. In this week's episode I’m joined by speaker,...

Do you ever feel like no matter how much “work” you do on yourself, you still wind up stuck in the same patterns? Maybe you’ve read all the books, attended countless therapy sessions and done a lot of introspection — and I mean, a LOT — but the changes you want to make just aren’t happening. Maybe you feel like you know all the answers, but you can’t get out of the start and stop cycle you’re caught up in. If you’ve ever felt this way… you’re not alone. In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Nicole LePera, author, psychologist, and creator of the popular Instagram account...

At some point or another you’ve probably wondered “why am I the way I am?”. And to figure it out, you may have taken some of the big personality tests like the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs or DISC -- or maybe you’ve turned to Astrology for some answers. But have you ever heard of Human Design? Human Design offers a map, or a manual, based on a combination of the I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and quantum physics that indicates how you are unique as a person -- in other words, what makes you tick. By understanding your Human Design, you can better align yourself...

Have you ever thought about the difference between self-care and self-love? Usually, we confuse the two. We think self-love looks like snuggling under the covers with a good book, taking a bubble bath, putting on a face mask. But really… that’s how we care for ourselves. Self-love is something so much deeper. My friend Nikia Phoenix and I discussed it on this week’s episode, and I know her perspective is going to blow your mind. Nikia is a model, writer, dream instigator, the founder of Black Girl Beautiful, and an amazing advocate for self-love. She joined me on this episode to talk...

Has anyone ever told you that you’re “too sensitive” or to “stop overthinking everything,” particularly by people who strike you as a little bit too insensitive or who you believe might benefit from some more thinking? Well, you may be what is known as a “highly sensitive person,” or HSP. Being HSP doesn’t mean you have a diagnosable condition, it’s a personality trait shared by just 20% of the population that involves increased responsiveness to both positive and negative influences. HSPs process experiences, thoughts, and feelings more deeply than non-HSPs — and with all...
info_outlineI think we’ve got something twisted when it comes to self love.
Self love isn’t face masks or shopping sprees (though it can be!). It’s much, much deeper than that.
Self love is…
...Communicating and upholding your boundaries with the people in your life (yes, even if it means they’ll be upset with you or leave).
...Being honest about your needs, both with others and with yourself.
...Gaining awareness around your fears and limiting beliefs so that you can do the work to heal.
...Following your aligned path, even if people judge you or don’t understand.
Self love is a lot less about face masks and a lot more about removing the masks you wear that hide your true essence.
So how do you go about creating self awareness so that you can embody self love? What practices will help bring you back to your center so you can live life from a place of alignment and wholeness?
This is just what my friend, Koya Webb, and I are discussing on this episode of Limitless Life™.
Koya is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, celebrity holistic health coach, author, speaker, and vegan activist whose core mission is to promote daily self-care, oneness and eco friendly living to combat some of the some of the world’s biggest challenges including mental health, social injustices and global warming.
In this episode, Koya shares how…
- Self-love isn’t a destination; it’s a journey on which you need to be gentle with yourself and acknowledge it takes practice
- Fear is feedback that when used to tune into what we need, it shifts our energy back to love
- Freedom is found when we show up and love without expectation
- When you come from a place of wholeness, you can give so much more fully to every relationship
- Specific ways you can find daily self-love within yourself
It might feel easy to go through each day and use distractions to cover up or bury how we feel. But if you take time to ask yourself what you really need, you can start to come home to yourself, and use that inner love to create lasting change and love in the world around you.
Bottom line: love is the root of who we are and why we’re here.
It’s the energy that weaves us all together, so we’ve got to start giving it the attention it deserves.
